I bought this fan less than a year ago and now the motor does not work. This is unacceptable for a fan that costs this much. The only way that Fanimation will cover repair is if I pack up the fan (no small job) and pay to have it shipped to their central location. And I have to pay for return shipping. In addition, they won't accept the fan unless I provide the original sales slip. Who keeps sales slips for a year??? The procedure makes the warranty practically useless. Terrible product!!!

The Arden by Fanimation performs double duty, combining functionality with aesthetics. The Walnut legs and the fan’s Oil Rubbed Bronze finish recall the clean and classic lines of an architect’s tripod, dovetailing nicely with transitional as well as classic décor. The Arden stands just under 44 inches high (including grill). A three-speed rotary switch provides a trio of comfort levels. All Fanimation motors are protected by a limited lifetime warranty.
